Suggestion on courses

I’m at the lower end of intermediate level for guitar playing. I play accoustic only. I’d like to improve my knowledge of scales, chords, ability to embellish while playing and finger mobility. I'm 51 and had my first solo gigs last year and had so much but want to continue improving. What courses would you suggest I take in guitar tricks.

Thanks for the background info. I suggest you work through the Acoustic courses. They contain a lot of practical skills & ideas to improve your knowledge & playing techniques.

Start on level 1. Some of the material might be below or at your skill level. So, go forward until you find something that challenges you & start working there!

There are plenty of other standalone collections & tutorials that can help dive deeper into specific topics. For example, this tutorial on embellishing basic open chords.

I teach a whole series on triads & inversions that can help open up the entire fretboard. I teach it on electric, but the ideas are fully applicable to acoustic. And they will definitely give your fingers a workout while expanding your knowlegde of chords & fretboard layout.

Learning arrangements for solo guitar is always a great way to build your skills & repertoire.
